Neem oil and smoke bombs


Luca

Recommended Posts

Hello all I’m in 3 week of veg and noticed some small black flies around the base of my pots and some flying around , can I use neem oil on them and a smoke bomb in the room with the plants inside ?

Look up fungus gnats and how to control. You certainly dont need to be bombing at this stage just for a few gnats. Who are you Barack Obama lol

Google:

Nemasys Sciarid Fly Killer = nematodes/roundworms you water them in, and they attack the larva of the little black flies.

 

Combined with yellow stickies it's a cost-effective way to get rid of them IME.

 

They likely came free with your compost, try to secure somewhere that stores the compost inside and doesn't have rips in the bags to avoid getting them in the first place, good luck @Luca

A soil drench works good like your bug bomb chemical but a liquid formula . No harm use preventative measures though . One member here wrote that you should always assume you have mites , and I think that's a good tip . Spray some abamectin on plants just twice in veg and not in flower .It is like napalm for tiny critters .
